LAGES World Teachers' Day TO THE MAX

     October 5, 2012 Marked the worldwide celebration of Teachers' Day. And of course, Leon A. Garcia Sr. Elementary School joined in this important event, honoring their teachers.

      In the morning, a culminating program was held. This was organized by the Supreme Pupil Government. The teachers were mere spectators to the said program. The hosting and the rest of the program was facilatated by responsible SPGs. 

     During the program, teachers were honored. They were given flowers, candies, chocolates and gifts by their beloved pupils.

     Students also rendered special presentations such as dancing, singing and choral reading.

     It was a super dooper to the  max presentation which was also graced by PTA Pres. Joel Neri and Atty. Rene Villarente.

     After the program, teachers went to SM Lanang to experience I MAX. . this was a very special treat for them since most of them never had an experience to this latest technology. . . They watched Resident Evil and were amazed by the 3D technology wherein they I heard them saying "things were just within your reach."

     It was really a to the MAXIMUM level experience for them! Hurray for you our Teachers! Our Heroes!

Agosto 1: simula ng Buwan ng Wika sa LAGES

Mga batang LAGES: malusog dahil sa gulay at prutas

      

Ang mga malulusog na mag-aaral sa ikalawang baitang.

“Pagkain ng gulay ugaliin, araw-araw itong ihain.”

      Ngayong araw na ito Hulyo 31, 2014, masayang ipinagdiriwang ng Mababang Paaralan ng Leon A. Garcia Sr. ang “Buwan ng Nutrisyon.”

         Bawat klase ay may kanya-kanyang paraan ng pagdiriwang.

Ang mga klase sa unang baitang at kindergarten ay nagkaroon ng “fruits and vegetables display.” Sinabayan din nila ito ng sayawan na nagpapatunay na sila ay malusog at masigla. Ilang magulang ay dumalo din sa pagtitipon upang pagsaluhan ang mga masustansiyang pagkain na kanilang inihanda. 

       Hindi rin nagpahuli ang mga nasa ikalawang baitang. Ang klase ni Gng. Femia Cainila ay naghanda ng mga iba’t ibang pagkain at ito’y pinangkat nila batay sa tatlong pangkat ng pagkain, “Go, Grow and Glow.” Samantalang, ang klase ni Gng. Evelyn B. Sullano ay mayroon ding display at masarap na sandwich na inihanda ng isang ama. At ang ikalawang baiting ni Gng. Djoana Bachinicha ay nagluto ng napakasarap na “Binignit.”

       Kakaiba naman ang mga nasa ikatlong baiting na kung saan maliban sa “fruits and vegetables display’ nila ay ibinida ang masustansiyang itlog bilang kumpletong pagkain.

Namumukod tangi din ang mga nasa ikaapat na baiting na nagsipagluto ng iba’t ibang Filipino vegetable dishes tulad ng “Law-uy”, ginataang monggo at tortang talong. Busog na busog ang mga mag-aaral sa ikaapat na baiting.

         Bibong-bibo naman ang mga nasa ikalimang baiting na kung saan ang mga mag-aaral ni Gng. Beatriz T. Estorgio ang nagpakitang gilas sa pag-awit ng bahay-kubo at sumayaw. Samantala, ang pangkat V-2 naman ay nagkaroon ng poster making contest at napiling magaling sina Trisha Marie Esguerra, Rey Mary Lavador, Louie Sustiguer, Jessica Malana at Ian Mahumot.

        Matamis na matamis din naman ginawang pagdiriwang ng mga nasa ikaanim na baiting dahil sa kanilang “Fruit Salad.” Ang pangkat VI-2 naman ay abala sa stage decoration para sa programa ngayong hapon.

        Ang lahat ng mga paraan ng pagdiriwang ng bawat baitang ay nagpapatunay ng kahalagahan sa malusog na pangangatawan bunga ng pagkain ng masustansiyang prutas at gulay. At dahil ito ang ginagawa ng mga mag-aaral sa Leon, halos lahat sila ay malusog at maliksi. MSE 7/27/12

Hello Children of God

A young lad wearing green shirt with a print “Child of God” passed by infront of me. The print reminded me of Ma’am Ching. It’s been a month now and I haven’t heard of her usual feeding with her “Children of God.” Maybe she had stopped for good (They always prayed for her good health).

But then, I heard Mrs. Miira Ellevera, Mrs. Marisa Caturza and Mrs. Elna Puerto discussed about rice and cooking it. This was it and indeed! Last Thursday, July 5, 2012, I saw Ma’am Ching once again. She fed her 80 Children of God.

The 30 grade 1 new member of Children of God were all delighted. This was their first time. Last year, they were mere spectators over their classroom window fence at the gym. But now their moment has come.

They took bites on their yummy chicken joy dipped in a so tasty gravy. Most asked for extra rice.

Who would not envy these Children of God? Once you belong to it, it was like having a countless privilege; taste the delicious dishes of Ma’am Ching, enjoy fabulous party held every anniversary and Christmas and the free schools’ items.

While 40 grade 2s and  10 grade 3s never missed to reunite with Ma’am Ching because they already know what is at stake for them.

After their lunch, they formed a line to receive their school’s items.

I heard Ma’am Ching talking about spaghetti for their 5^th year anniversary. It’s been a while since Ma’am Ching was with us. . 5 years of being generous and kind-hearted.

Ma’am Ellevera asked her about choosing a boy whom she would support for fare. She replied this, “Pag mag stop nako pero naa pa man ko . . .”( If I end my advocacy here but I still have some. . .(graces?))

Her answer had created countless of conclusions in my mind but one thing I was sure; Ma’am Ching doesn’t want to end her advocacy. Not only Ma’am Ching but also God. .

As a church song goes on. . . “Ang tawag larawan sa gugma, mao’y hagit sa tagsa-tagsa. . Pagkadaghan sa anihunon, pagkanihit sa mangangani karon (God’s calling is a sign of love, it’s a challenge to every one.. . There is much to harvest but there are few harvesters).”

And so Leon is quite blessed with having Ma’am Ching who knows how to answer the God’s calling. Every time she’s here, she’s harvesting the underprivileged pupils of our school, feed them and supports them in her little but magnificent way.
